A suprising choice but not necessarily a bad one. I hope that they have secured some exclusive artwork. I'm not a fan of companies adding a few extras to a standard release and charging a premium.

judging by PA's first releases I doubt that will be an issue...

We know If you're familiar with Plain Archive, you can be sure this won't just be a standard release with a few extras. And all of their releases have been as premium as it gets, so I don't mind paying a premium. But I don't even think they charge a premium. I paid around $40 shipped for each version of The Master.

Another great choice Plain Archive! Definitely my favourite steelbook retailer, can't wait to get this.

Name one PA release where that has been the case?

How can you be sure? Plain Archive have only released catalogue titles to date and their upcoming release of King Kong hints at a move in this direction.

King Kong.

When was it announced they were doing King Kong?

King Kong.

That's not even out yet so I'm not sure how you can say that. I haven't even heard of it.

I get that you have something against Asian steelbooks, but Plain Archive does not fall into this category of "companies adding a few extras to a standard release and charging a premium." They actually release premium products and obviously care a lot about design, quality control, keeping their customers informed every step of the way, packaging, customer feedback, etc. I feel like you're hoping they fail so you can be proved right or something.

I was thinking of the HDzeta version. Sorry.

I was simply stating that I hoped that it had exclusive artwork because it is a new release (Plain Archive have only released catalogue titles to date) and that often means shared artwork. Why you felt the need to post a full blown defence of Plain Archive when I wasn't even criticising them I have no idea.

That is not true. Blue Is the Warmest Color was a new release.

Because you posted the following in a thread about a Plain Archive release:

A suprising choice but not necessarily a bad one. I hope that they have secured some exclusive artwork. I'm not a fan of companies adding a few extras to a standard release and charging a premium.

Which isn't something Plain Archive has ever done.

Exactly, they're're very affordable and are the nicest overall packages being offered right now. What they've done for IStD, The Master, and soon, Zero Dark Thirty steelbooks is making all other companies take notice to step up their game and don't even bother or think about releasing a steel they are or have already, because it'll be pointless. Just look at Zavvi with their IStD and The Wrestler steels limited to 2000 each and just sitting there, not selling, even at £6.99.

With that said, obviously I'm super pumped they're giving Foxcatcher the steelbook treatment, it should be amazing.

Same guy posting the same nonsense just to stir up another retailer vs asian retailer argument. Soooooo boring

I don't think they've released a steel yet that didn't have custom designed/created artwork.

 

[snooloui]

That is not true. Blue Is the Warmest Color was a new release.

I am talking about Steelbook releases.

Which isn't something Plain Archive has ever done.

That really just proves that I wasn't criticising them.

I don't think they've released a steel yet that didn't have custom designed/created artwork.

The thing is that when other Korean retailers (Kimchi and Novamedia) have released 'new' titles, they have shared artwork with other countries. I am not saying that will be the case here (I am not sure which companies are distributing this around the World) but it is a possibility and that is why I said I hoped it had exclusive artwork.

I am entitled to post my opinion. If others decide to jump down my throat because they misunderstood what I was said, that is not my fault.

Okay, you're absolutely right, don't know where I got that idea

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Film bored me to tears. Easy skip.

I don't think it is nonsense to hope for exclusive artwork for a title that may get multiple Steelbook releases in the next few months. I wasn't trying to stir up an argument at all.

 

[Man on 1Wire x 6 3]

Awesome. Yet another thread where people keep talking about other movies aside from the title in this thread.
There is another section of HDN where you can discuss movies. Can people please take discussions about "THIS movie" and "THAT movie" and "I wish they would release THIS title" to a different thread, please?

 

[munkideluxe]

Up for this one.
